I got this book through my Book of the Month Club subscription box and was very much looking forward to it. They claimed it was for fans of Stranger Things which was too tantalizing a comparison to pass up. However, although I believe that this was a decent read, it fell far from expectation.

I haven’t read a spy book in a long time and I don’t think I’ve ever read one that’s not spies from history or spies in fantasy or sci-fi spies. That is what I believe makes this book unique. We have plenty of spy tv shows but in literature, it is a genre that is fairly small, especially in YA. There was plenty of action, high-stakes, and combat talk.
